How the call settles
BLS CPI reports show the annual inflation rate rising above 4% in a month after March 2026
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because BLS reported CPI-U rose 4.2% over the 12 months ended May 2026 — above the 4% March reading and the largest 12-month increase since April 2023 — driven by a 23.5% annual jump in energy prices from the Iran war. That satisfies the criterion of a post-March 2026 month above 4%, even though April came in at 3.8% and June eased to 3.5%.. Applied stored rule: BLS CPI reports show the annual inflation rate rising above 4% in a month after March 2026.
Outcome evidence
BLS reported CPI-U rose 4.2% over the 12 months ended May 2026 — above the 4% March reading and the largest 12-month increase since April 2023 — driven by a 23.5% annual jump in energy prices from the Iran war. That satisfies the criterion of a post-March 2026 month above 4%, even though April came in at 3.8% and June eased to 3.5%.
